Lotus flower tattoos are also popular for people who have gone through a hard time and are now coming out of it. Like the flower they have been at the bottom in the muddy, yucky dirty bottom of the pond but have risen above this to display an object of beauty or al ife of beauty as the case might be. Thus a lotus flower tattoo or blossom can also represent a hard time in life that has been overcome.

The dove is more commonly associated with Christians, Jesus, and Christianity. There is a variety of different Christian art that shows Jesus being followed by a flock of doves. Doves are also mentioned in the Bible. Doves are believed to be messengers from God. There are stories about the dove wearing a scribe on its neck to carry messages back and forth. The dove is also a part of the famous Bible story of Noah's Ark. Before the great flood, God ordered Noah to build a ark for him and his family. Noah was also told to gathered all the animals in pairs, one male and one female. God then flooded the earth and everything was destroyed. After several weeks at sea, Noah sent out a dove and raven to see if they can find any signs of life. Noah's dove later came back with an olive branch in its beak. This was a sign to Noah that life is starting again.
